When the Model T came out, hay was much cheaper than gasoline.

By all means go buy an electric car. What's funny is you people tell everyone how great they are, but then don't buy them.

Not only that, Wes, but like Covid vaccines, they keep trying to make everyone else want to get one!

Who believes the Feds won't jack up taxes at the electric outlet? Does anyone
believe that with the losses of state and federal taxes at the gas pump that they
won't go looking for a new source of revenue via electric charging of vehicles?

That and more. EVs will have chips in them much like your smart electric meter that the Fed can control at will. Just wait until they want to get you on something, be it late property taxes, failure to pay alimony, going over the speed limit or a hundred other things, they will send a command disabling your car from operating. And that car will report everything on you to the government including where you go. They will justify that under the Patriot Act.

The Left are out to take away all personal privacy, autonomy and liberty.

People are buying them. Many Tesla models have their production sold out to mid-2022. The model 3 Tesla just became the best selling car in Europe.

Tesla Model 3 Becomes First Electric Car to Top Europe Sales

Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 was the top-selling vehicle in Europe last month, the first time an electric car has outsold rival models with gasoline engines.

One measure of a cars desirability is how well it sells as a used car. And the Tesla 3 is the fastest selling car in the used car market in the US.

US: Tesla Model 3 Continues To Be The Fastest-Selling Used Car

A huge disproportion between demand and supply of Tesla cars translates to price increases and longer estimated delivery times. Let's check the used market

What part of "GO BUY ONE" do you not understand?

Post pics when you do.

Well, if you don't want the Covid vaccine, I wish you a happy ICU visit and a merry intubation. As far as trying to make everyone want an EV, hardly necessary since many Tesla models are sold out through mid-2022.

Good. YOU go buy one.

When I wear out my present vehicles, I certainly shall.

The manufactures data on ev's are often based on charging from home. Electric charge points can often be up to 4 times the cost.

This guy gives an account of the cost with his EV, a real life example -

Study compares electric vehicle charge costs vs. gas — and results were surprising

In a study of some gas cars released by Anderson Economic Group, it can cost considerably more to drive an EV — until infrastructure improves.

Old Rocks is a, "Do as I say, not what I do" dude, more so with EV's.

So you're gonna keep destroying the planet until you must change! How deplorable of you.

LOL "These chargers were installed last fall and have been free for use until now. Troy Moon, the sustainability coordinator for Portland, says people who charge their cars at these stations will have to pay 15 cents per kilowatt hour, which comes out to about $1.05 per hour.Jul 19, 2021"

"The city of Portland in Oregon, United States, has 432 public charging station ports (Level 2 and Level 3) within 15km. 93% of the ports are level 2 charging ports and 31% of the ports offer free charges for your electric car."

At that rate, a fill up on a 100 kw/hr battery that would take you 350 miles costs $15. An ICE getting 30 mpg adding 10 gallons will cost you $35, at least.

LOL, you really don't understand, do you? Care to guess how much it will be in 10 years? Not even close to $1.05 per hour.

The Feds get screwed each and every time the one who owns their own recharging equipment uses it. Solar and wind can’t be regulated by the Federal Pimp. The Pimp knows this, but will attempt dupage by other means.

Could well be less if we go to all renewables and grid scale storage. And about 30% of the recharge stations in Portland, Oregon are free of charge.

People are buying them.

People are also buying cooking aprons with a caricature of Joe Biden printed on the front bent over farting himself.

Many Tesla models have their production sold out to mid-2022.

But rather small productions against vastly more regular cars regularly sold, and at that, many EV car buyers are buying them naively, merely trusting that these things are the future, and going to work out well for them on the basis of thinking buying one is doing some sort of favor for the planet.

The model 3 Tesla just became the best selling car in Europe.

Must be a lot of wealthy people there willing to shell out $45,000+ USD (almost twice what my folks paid for their first house in the 1950s), for what amounts to a featureless striped-down mid-compact tin can with no styling to it at all with bare-bones batteries, distance, speed and driver features, considering that one can get a really nice, clean, reliable midsize ICE car with tons of miles still left on it with a big engine, great performance, lots of MPG, and literally jam-packed with rich comfort and user features for like--- 1/10th the price!

I didn't say for HALF the price, I said for ONE-TENTH the price.
